4.7 is what percent of 6.6 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 6.6 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 6.6, so we can write it down as 100%=6.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.6
2) x%=4.7
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=6.6/4.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.7 is what percent of 6.6

100%/x%=6.6/4.7
(100/x)*x=(6.6/4.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4042553191489*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4042553191489) to get x
100/1.4042553191489=x
71.212121212121=x
x=71.212121212121

now we have:
4.7 is 71.212121212121% of 6.6
